Facebook Pages make it easy to stay up-to-date with your favorite public figures and organizations. For example, after connecting with Lance Armstrong, I'll receive updates directly from him on my Facebook homepage about his life on the Tour de France, photos of his rides and much more. But when I'm not on Facebook it can be a challenge to keep up, which is why beginning today, we're making it even easier to get direct updates from the organizations and celebrities you care about most.

The same public figures and organizations you're connected with on Facebook can now install a Facebook Fan Box on their own websites, which shows the most recent updates that are also going into your News Feed. If you're not yet connected to their Facebook Page, you can become a fan directly from their Facebook Fan Box and begin receiving updates on Facebook as well.
